Here's my question, I'm still new to bacula and I have doubts...
- I backup to files.
- I want one file per week day.
- I want a full backup the first day of the week (whatever might this be)
and all following backups of the week incremental.
It's now been a while I have my my first jobs running and it seems I got this working
- Bacula creates a new file per day and recycle them.

To acheive this I did the following in the director configuration:
Client Section:
File Retention = 6 days
Job Retention = 6 days
Pool Section:
Volume Retention = 6 days
Volume Use Duration = 23h
My issue is... I can't find the last full backup anymore, maybe the volume was recycled ?
Then, if it was, why didn't bacula do a Full backup again ?
How may I set this up the way I want ?
Thank you.
